lol blitz is a noob killer. sure you can get caught out and pulled but if you focus on positioning against an enemy blitz you will never get pulled

Blitz isn't a noob killer, he's a faceroll. All you have to do is overdrive and knock somebody up, and then pull them when they flash away. Or just do the normal Q, R, E, W combo. Only the tankiest opponents can survive an onslaught like that. Blitz's pull has no risk to it whatsoever, outside if you suck at skillshots and you waste mana. Get one lucky pull in and the Crank will spank. They need to either rework his kit to make his pull have more of a risk to it, or Blitz needs to get buffed so he can get the hell out of bot lane unless the meta shifts to where he can fly solo.

I doubt blitz would go solo lane with a buff. He would just stay in bot for the double kills.

However, I still stand by my statement that he is a noob killer.

Blitz cant really spam his q.

Yes you will get pulled. But thats like getting caught by anyone.

Yes he is a faceroll, but he is also nearly completely preventable with good positioning

I don't think I would use the term "noob killer" but I do agree that positioning can go a long way against a Blitz. If you get good at dodging skillshots, blitz is much less of a pain in the neck. Don't get me wrong, he's still a pain--you will still get caught on occasion, everyone does--he's just not as much. Not like Thresh or Morg can be ugh....

Taking advantage of his long CD can go a long way too. If you see him use his pull and miss, that's your cue to try to do something aggressive or freely harass him. Blitz has very little to work with after a failed hook. And if he decides to just run up to you with his knock-up...he still has to get in melee range, no matter how fast he is, which gives plenty of time to CC and harass him before he can get close. Picking someone with a lot of peel against Blitz can do wonders (Morg, Thresh, Lulu, probably even Leona)
